Question

5x−2(x+1)=1/4 find x pretty please

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\bf\:x = \frac{3}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x - 2(x+1)=\frac{1}{4}$

Use the distributive property for 2(x + 1).

$5x - 2x - 2= \frac{1}{4}$

Subtract 2x from 5x.

$3x - 2= \frac{1}{4}$

Bring 2 to the right hand side of the equation .

$3x = \frac{1}{4} + 2$

Add 1/4 & 2.

$3x = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{8}{4} \: \: [LCM = 4]\\3x = \frac{9}{4}$

Now, bring 3 to the right hand side of the equation .

$x = \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}\\x = \frac{9}{12}\\\boxed{\bf\:x = \frac{3}{4}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Delaney  solve for X by isolating it,  or getting it by it self

Step-by-step explanation:

5x−2(x+1)=1/4 (distribute the 2)

5x-2x - 2 = 1/4  (subtract 2x from 5x)

3x -2 +2 = 1/4 +2 (add 2 to both sides)

3x = 2_1/4  (put 2 &  1/4 together)

3x = 9/4 (convert 2_1/4 to  9/4)

$\frac{1}{3}$*3*x =  $\frac{1}{3}$*$\frac{9}{4}$  ( mutilply both sides by  1/3)

X = 3/4   (cross multiply )

There you go

X = $\frac{3}{4}$
